A passenger on a recent WestJet flight left a crude, sexist note scrawled on a napkin denouncing the flight’s female pilot.

“To Capt./WestJet,” the note says. “The cockpit of airliner [sic] is no place for a woman. A woman being a mother is the most honor not as “captain” Proverbs 31 (Sorry not P.C.) P.S. I wish WestJet could tell me a fair lady is at the helm so I can book another flight! Were [sir] short mothers not pilots Westjet.”

The genius passenger—who, by all indications traveled safely from point to point on the woman-piloted flight—did not leave a name.

The pilot, Carey Smith Steacy, posted the note to Facebook where it began its viral journey across the Internet. On social media people have been offering words of support for Steacy.

WestJet told ABC News, “We are enormously proud of the professionalism, skills and expertise of our pilots and we were disappointed to see this note.”

Hush down sweet cheeks. Don't want you ruining that pretty smile of yours with worry lines.

How are the driving lessons going, Zee?

Yours may not have been...

This has got to be a joke. Are there any men left who are insecure enough to object to a woman pilot?

I don't want to be coming in to land at Heathrow, whilst Captain Trolley-Dolley is checking out her lippy in the mirror instead of pushing the reverse thruster.

I fully agree, I don't want you on that plane either. I want your passport taken off you so you're not representing my country abroad.

. Are there any men left who are insecure enough to object to a woman pilot?Yes. :joker:

Yes. :joker:

No... I mean real men.

I passed my test first time in 2012 :dazzler:

[Livia]

I passed my test first time in 2012 :dazzler:

Yeah, on the Internet, everyone passed first time x

[Z]

Yeah, on the Internet, everyone passed first time x

:laugh: The whole passing first time thing wasn't really important to me until the day before my test (!!!) my mum casually mentions that everyone else in the family had passed first time. What a horrible thing to say to someone the day before their test!

(Incidentally, I'm horrendous at parking)

I know... most men are pretty bad at parking. It's a spatial thing. It's because most of your have spent so much time convincing yourselves that 8" is much, much smaller than it actually is.

LOL at your Mum... yeah, that's a dreadful thing to say to someone on the day of their test!

[Cherie]

Alternatively re Zee's Mum, you could argue that was quite a motivational thing to say and it worked.
